Lyrics
I was walking in the cold
saw some kids playing in the snow,
they seemed so alive
so I stopped to watch,
everyone was having fun,
you know, I felt so old.
C –
Responsibility is calling me
Respectability is calling me
Maturity has a hold on me
I’m no longer free…
“Get a degree and you’ll be free,
you know that education is the key,”
those days of youth have passed me by
like a wounded bird shot from the sky,
I’m lying naked in the street
looking for a meal and looking for sex.
C
Dreams of the mushroom cloud haunt my sleep
but I’m too fucking old to sit and weep,
I sit and drink and think about my sanity,
how the freedom bell has no identity,
my childhood dreams have been replaced
with the technology of the nuclear race.
C
